DVD Roman's Lab Vol. 80

Reversing of well established evaluations in Giuoco Piano and 2 Knights Defence

The Giuoco Piano and 2 Knights Defence, are probably the most and the best explored openings in chess theory. Not much has changed in the past 30-40 years. With the help of Rybka, Roman Dzindzichashvili injects new life in these ancient openings giving two original approaches for capturing the initiative. In the first case White plays a pwn sacrifice that has never been taken seriously and ends up with more than sufficient compensation. In the second case White captures a pawn that was always thought to be a too risky but proves an advantage!

An interesting and controversial DVD based on deep analysis by Rybka and GM Roman Dzindzichashvili.
